Featuring two literary adaptations for one great price, this set leads off with a non-musical production from 1988 of Les MisÚrables, Victor Hugo's classic story of redemption and revenge, with strong performances from Liam Neeson as the haunted Jean Valjean and Geoffrey Rush as his single-minded pursuer, Inspector Javert. In a 2000 adaptation of Edith Wharton's House of Mirth, Gillian Anderson won Best Actress honors from Village Voice and at the British Independent Film Awards for her luminous portrayal of rising young New York socialite Lily Bart, who falls prey to an unscrupulous financial investor (Dan Aykroyd) and a ruthless friend (Laura Linney) who accuses Lily of adultery to save her own reputation.
